Description

If you’re an ambitious social enterprise providing employability services in the Aberdeen area, this half-day, fully interactive workshop will provide insights on how innovation and collaboration can support the growth of effective service provision.

Key themes include:

Reviewing the current support landscape for employability services in the Aberdeen area

Understanding the service user's journey

The role of collaboration and innovation

Inspiring and developing ideas for different and more effective ways of supporting the long-term unemployed e.g. new support services, better systems, finding and filling the gaps in provision

Communications - both across the support network and with the service user

The challenge of effective data management for the benefit of the service user

The workshop facilitator will use tools and techniques to encourage you to think differently about your service offering for the unemployed. Work together with other organisations during the workshop to generate and develop ideas for improving communications across the social enterprise network - delivering an improved service to those seeking work.

There will also be a clear pathway of follow-up support to encourage the practical implementation of individual and collaborative ideas identified during the workshop, that have potential for positive impact on your organisation and for the benefit of the service user.

The workshop is open to any third sector organisation (social enterprise, charity or community group) in the Aberdeen area looking to develop and improve its employability services and to network with others working in the same field. It is fully supported by Scottish Enterprise at no cost to participants.

You will have the opportunity at the workshop to sign up for a 1-2-1 surgery with a Scottish Enterprise Innovation Specialist adviser. These surgeries will both provide a sounding board for your ideas and supply further information on accessing Scottish Enterprise innovation support and grants.
